My partner and I love curry. We eat curry regularly, both at home and in restaurants. We often travel upwards of 2 hours to try recommended curry houses. Tonight, we thought we would try one closer to home.
And we have both agreed that this is the absolute worst that either of us have ever been to...
It started off fairly promising. The place is warm, and we were seated quickly in a booth. There were some questionable stains on the table cloth, but we overlooked this, and our drinks order was quickly taken, followed by our food order. Unfortunately the carpet had more personality that all of the waitstaff combined. Literally. My feet stuck to whatever was growing in it.
The started was a selection of deep fried chicken and veg. It was fine. Basic, but fine.
Then arrived the main course. My partner had ordered the Karahi from the "hot" section and I had gone for the Pardesi from the "medium" menu. Neither had any heat whatsoever, or any flavour. Had they not been different colours, you could have been forgiven for assuming they were identical. The nan bread was like a thick duvet, and my cheese and garlic nan had was literally nan bread with half a bag of grated mozzarella on top!
When the waiter asked how things were, he scuttled off before waiting for an answer.
Despite all of this, we could have got over this, had there not been the attempted theft, the addition of a significant amount onto each item on the bill. When this was flagged up, the excuse was "well I haven't got a menu to hand". Hello Trading Standards - needless to add, when a menu was presented, the price was very incorrect, and the additional sum removed.
If dreadful food, staff who clearly don't want to be there, and attempted theft are your thing, then sure, give it a bash.... read more
